A New Source Of Sugar.

A report comes from the east which is
Of great Importance, if true. 1t is that
there has been discovered in British
India blossom Of such saccharine prop
critics that it is destined to revolutionize
the sugar business of the world. It is the
flower OF the mahwa or NICOLA, tree Of
large size which abourds in the southern
portion Of Hindustan. This blossom has
sweet taste and yields one-haf its
weight in sugar The Hindoos have for
long period been accustomed to extract
syrup from the mahwa's flowers, but in
the most primitive fashion, without at
tempting to develop a process. The tree,
ii IS stated, demands neither care nor cul-
tivation. 1t produces annually thou
sand pounds q Of blossoms, which it sheds
during the night. The saccharine matter
is also serviceable for a spurious liquor
ana for an oil which may be used for both
lighting and food. If this wonderful re-
port is correct, it may be seen at a glance
what a disastrous competition the mahwa
is likely to make with existing sugar in
dustrieS.
The best West India plantations pro-
duce 800 pounds per aspent lone and
one-Quarter acres, and the French and
German sugar beet farms do not equal
this amount. But il is claimed that
the blossoms of five mGhwa trees viii
yield the same amount, statement not
consistent with the reported weight of the
bloom, which, however, must be an error.
From 200 to $50 trees can be grown upon
an aspent, from which it results that the
crop Of sugar, will be from forty to fifty
times greater per acre of land than that Of
the sugar cane. The English speaking
Hindoo press is already urging the govern
ment to take steps for making TINS new
sugar industry a monopoly, so far as pos

Tapeworm in the Human Body.

1t is estimated that in the human body
no less than ten species Of tapeworm oc-
cur. A mature tapeworn in the intestinal
canal may give rise to series OF symp-
toms including vertigo, noises in the ears,
impairment of sight, itching Of the nose,
dyspepsia and loss Of appetite, collie and
pains in different parts Of the abdomen,
palpitatjon, the sensation Of weight in the
abdomen, pains and lassitude il the limbs
and emaCiation. Numerous cases are
on record in which hysteTical fits,
epilepsy, commissions OF various kinds,
and even mania. have been induced by
the irritation excited by this parasite, and
have ceased at once on its removal. Tape
worms are introduced 70 the human body
in measly underdoue pork, in uuderdone

THREE MEN KILLED.

PITTSBURG, Nov 25.-Two freight trains
on the Wheeling division of the Baltimore
81 Ohio railway collided near Cochrane
Mills, fifteen. miles from this city, about
1918 this morning Both trains were COM
pletely demolished and three men killed
and five others injured. One of the killed
was Wm. Heddiman. fireman, of Wheel
ing, w. Va. Two others are still under
the debris and the names are not known.
The injured are: Thos Gales. engineer,
crushed and bruised seriously; Frank Ap-
pieby, fireman hurt about the head and
body, not dangerous; Peter McMann fire
man, head badly cut, arm broken and
body bruised quite seriously: Thos f.
Gam, brakeman, cut and bruised. not dan
gerouSly; Patrick Golf engineer, head badly
cat, foot mashed and cut about the body,
very seriously. There appears to have
been no orders issued as to which train was
to lay over at Finleyviile for the other to
pass. The trains were running at high
rate of speed, and As they turned the curve
near Cochrane Mills, they came into view,
too late to he checked. An instant later
Both engines were lifted from the rails
and thrown to one side aud completely
wrecked, the cars derailed and reduced to
kindling wood and piled up high around
the engines. The main track was torn up
for considerable distance and completely
blockaded. There was not moments
warning and both crews were caught in
the wreck. Three OF the trainmen were
buried from sight. They were almost in
stanUly killed.

Modes of Travel in Persia.

There are two modes of travel in Per-
STA, caravan and chappah. The former is
slow at the pace which loaded mules eau
follow, say twenty-five miles a day. To
travel in caravan means not to go with
large company, but in this leisurely man.
ner. Hence, our word caravan, because
large trains in the east must necessarily
travel in caravan style. Chappah travel
ing, on the other hand, means rapid
going, at an average of eighty to $50 miles
per diem. This can only be done by rid
ing at a steady gallop-horses rarely trot
in the east-and changing horses at short
intervals.
The post carriers invariably travel chap
pah. The method of measuring distances
III Persia is by farsakhs, farsakh repre-
senting four miles. Post stations are
placed four farsakhs, or sixteen miles
apart, and more rarely five farsakhs.
Fresh relays of horses are kept in readi-
ness at these stations. The post carriers,
accompanied by single attendant both
heavily armed and welding fierce whip
of hide, carry the mail IN saddle bags.
On arriving at a station they dismount,
take hasty cup of tea which is in readi
ness, and few pulls at the kalan or
water pipe; then the horses are led out
and the postman starts for another sixteen
mile gallop over the mountain and plain,
through forest and wastes. These post
men are, so far as / could learn, very
faithful and courageous, as they must
need be, for they are sometimes attacked
and killed, especially when 1t had leaked
out that they are carrying money. Thus
they go through Persia, and through life,
on horseback. In summer they have to
rest during the heat OF the day, but sum-
mer and winter they gallop all night, and
practically have no rest until the end of
the Journey. The post rider from Teheran
to Bushire goes nearly 200 miles before he
can take a solid Sleeps. G. W. Benja-

HIGH-HANDED OUTRAGE.
VIM. Harrison Given Sixty Stripes by VII
famous Bald KnObberS.

MISSOURI CITY, Mo-, Nov. 25.-Last Sun
day morning about o'clock justice of the
peace. L. G. Hopkins was aroused by Will
lam Harrison, who resides five miles below
b ere near the Missouri river. He related
a story which makes it appear that he was
a victim Of Bald Knobber practices. He
stated that near II o'clock that night
three men awakened himself and family
bv knocking at the door and calling to
him.
He answered their call by opening the
door. They said they desired his services
to row them over the river. The night was
dark and stormy, and he tried to prevail
upon them to delay the crossing until
morning. bat they would not listen, SO he
consented for a certain sum.
When a short distance from the house
four more men joined them which caused
him to suspicion something was wrong,
and he started back to the house. They
threw a rope around his neck and dragged
him on over blank.
His wife's ears caught the sound of his
cries for help and she started to them,
when she was met by one of the party and
driven back at the point of pistol
Harrison's hands were tied and his coat
relieved when he was given sixty or more
lashes with a c0whide, cutting the blood
from him every strike.
Before departing they informed him he
would be given just twenty-four hours to
get out of the vicinity, and if he remained
it would be at the peril of death,
Harrison managed to get back to the
house and proceeded to the home of the
officer with barely enough strength TO
cling to the horse.
His clothes were saturated with blood
and matted TO his back, which was horri-
bly, lacerated and bleeding.
Officers have been privately investigat-
ing the matter and arrests viii be made to
morrow if it is thought the names of the
right parties are learned.
1t is the general opinion the object was
to get possession of the land on which Har-
risOn resided, it being considered govern
ment land, as it formed an island during
high stage of water.

They are becoming sadly Disguised with

two or three hundred dollars and i'm.
mediatelY depart for the east or south
where the money is spent, and then re-
turn in the spring to enact the same
farce. Our farmers are seriously con-
templating the feasibility of hiring only
residents of our territory, men who
have come here to stay with us and will
use their earnings in the upbuilding of
our country. The present state of
affairs is equal, almost, to that of the
Chinese who used to flock to this count.
~ in great numbers, live on a nickle a
day and send the balance of their
wages back to their native land. This
method was working such an inroad on
the financial condition of our country
that the government had to step IN and
enact laws preventing it. A rule that
works on general principles is certain
ly entitled to some local distinction and
the plan now contemplated by our
farmers we believe to be q very wise
one. In Rondell township alone there
are least seyenty-tive men employed by
the season each year at an average of
$500 each, making a total of SO, 900,
and at least two-thirds of this amount,
or $4,000 is used in building up some
southern or eastern locality that will
never benefit this town in the least. We
predict that If every township in Brown
county hail Sic, 900 more In circulation
which they could have had by hiring
home help, times would seem ever so
much better. Farmers, what think your
